Great Grandma Wetzel's family (the Butterfield family) had a beet farm when she was growing up. She always shows us grandkids (and great grandkids) how she would harvest the beets with this tool:
As she would tell us what she did she would sometimes let us try it out and would be sure to show us how sharp the tip is. I swear I wouldnt have a hand left if I had been a beet farmer. I love how she shares her history so well. I always had a story to share at church for pioneer day and at school in history class.
